Industry use case
Wind energy
Hourly wind speed and direction, everywhere, for a decade or more.
Wind teams use PastClimate to get an early, evidence-based read on a site's wind character — the seasonal pattern and the extremes — long before a met mast goes up. Full wind-rose and Weibull site characterisation is on the roadmap; today's report gives you the real monthly signal and the raw hourly vectors to build on.
How PastClimate helps
Site screening
Compare monthly average wind speed and the windiest day on record across candidate sites before committing to a met mast.
Seasonal planning
See which months run windiest and which run calm from a decade-plus of hourly averages — a first read for scheduling around low-wind periods.
Raw vector export
Download hourly wind speed and direction as CSV, one date at a time, to feed your own resource or turbulence modelling.
Extreme-wind context
Know the strongest wind day on file and how any given day compares to the long-run record.
The report
Wind Resource Screening Report
Site prospectors ranking candidates before a met mast goes up; asset managers wanting a quick seasonal-wind sanity check.

Years of hourly record
In your report
- Mean wind speed by month across the full multi-year record — the windiest and calmest months at a glance
- Windiest day on record, with the date, as the site's all-time high-wind reference point
- Years of hourly ERA5 coverage on file, so you know how much record backs the numbers
- Raw hourly wind speed and direction, any single date in the record, as CSV
Coming soon
- Wind rose (direction/speed joint distribution) — needs the full multi-year hourly series aggregated, not cheaply fetchable yet
- Weibull k/c shape and scale fit to the speed distribution
- Indicative IEC turbine-class matching, hub-height (80–120m) extrapolation, and turbulence intensity for a certified assessment
